Heidi is a Hong Kong born NeoSoul/Pop/Jazz singer songwriter who grew up with a Chinese opera background under her parents’ influence. After having lived in Canada, the UK and France, she has been living in Italy for almost 7 years, where she performs in squares, music clubs, radio and TV with local musicians. She has also been active on YouTube, singing folk songs in different Italian dialects.

In October 2016, she was invited by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to sing at the States General of the Italian Language in the World.

“Third Culture Kid” is a term refers to children who were raised in a culture outside of their parents’ culture for a significant part of their development years. Having lived in different countries and being immersed in various cultures, I was inspired to write a song about this life experience and cultural shocks. Spontaneously, I also decided to borrow this term to be the title of this debut record.

From pop melodies and jazzy soul tunes, to more rhythmically complex compositions; the repertoire showcases a diversity of musical ideas while maintaining a recognizable coherent soulful sound. In this made in Italy record, my multicultural background is reflected both on the eclectic music style and lyrics written in English, Italian and Cantonese.

Most of you probably have already heard the melody “Sto qui”, the Italian song on the EP. The music video of the alternative version with new lyrics written in the dialect of Perugia, titled “Tuqui”, has earned me over 15k views on YouTube within a few month.

“Heidi Sings in Italian Dialects” project is initially a series of youtube videos in which I travel around Italy, collaborating with local musicians to sing folk songs in various Italian regional languages and dialects, with the objective of showing the cultural and linguistic diversity of Italy. It is then transformed into a live performance debuting in October 2016 at the States General of the Italian Language in the World, an important event organized by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella was presented.
